Happy ONE year, Johnathan!

My baby boy is all growed up!!! He is a year now!!!

Weighing in at 27.2 pounds, 33 inches long and in the 97 percentile for his age, he's doing pretty good. He is taking more and more steps every day, but isn't walking all of the time yet. He does love to walk and gets a bit over confident sometimes slamming into the floor at full force at times.

He says ball, mamma, dadda, and as of just a couple of days ago, he says cat. We were at the doctor's office (getting his one year checkup) and there was a cat painted on the wall.....cat!

He doesn't like the word, "no", is pretty stubborn when it comes to touching the tv, is super sweet when he holds on to me at the door of the church nursery and doesn't want to go in (Julia NEVER did that!), has a sense of humor (thinks he's funny when he "blows" the house down reading the Three Little Pigs book), and is just a great little man.

We had a Tool Party (thanks Aunt Shannon for your idea!) at our house with both Julia's friends and his own friends. They bounced in the bounce house, opened presents, ate cake and posed for lots of pictures.

Aunt Shannon, Mallory and Morgan stayed the night after his party. It was so nice to get caught up with Shannon and to have the girls (and Johnathan) all play together. They are all so cute!

Soooooooo, here's to you, Baby Boy! It seems like just yesterday that we found out we were going to have you......we pray your next year will be filled with lots of joys, tons of fun and many blessings. Love you!
